Bests Bridge, a twin to the Bowers Bridge, may have been built thirty years earlier. The arches were originally constructed of a laminate of five planks - two more were recently added to the bows.

Our thanks to the Town of West Windsor for allowing the posting of the Vermont Covered Bridge Society Welcome patch. For more information about the West Windsor area visit their website at www.westwindsorvt.govoffice2.com.
